The drop down list has been populated
Finally, we just have to provide the drop-down field so the applicant can quickly indicate his or her highest level of completed education. As you probably guessed, tab stops are used to line things up! Once you have your cursor in position next to the Highest level of education completed field, click the Drop-Down Form Field button on the Forms toolbar. This time, a blank gray box appears.
With the other two types of fields text and check box you don't really have to ever open the properties unless you want to do something special. With a drop-down field, on the other hand, you have to open the field properties in order to specify the options that should appear on the list.
I've shown you the properties page for the populated Education field. If you wanted to add other options, just type the option name into the Drop-down item box and click Add. If you want to remove an item, click the Remove button. You can reorder the items using the Move (up and down) buttons.
